Poddar International College BCA Review By Tanishq Laxkar

I chose this college because of their counseling and they were providing extra courses on good platform like Coursera. There is no as such admission criterion for students. There were no admission test rounds. There were college students available for our help in filling out the admission form. They also gave me a college tour before the admission.

I chose BCA because of my technical interest. Mainly, I wanted to know how software is made and implemented. All the teachers and faculty are well qualified in their own fields. The exams are held half yearly in which first are pre-university tests and the other ones are finals. There is no fee hike but yes, there are some charges for your own requests like hostel and transportation.

The faculty and teachers are very polite. They are well qualified in their respective fields. Our head of department Dr. Ruchir Saxena is really good at teaching. They always help students in their studies. The teachers are always willing to give their extra time for students after the class time.

There is no eligibility criterion for the placement drives but sometimes the companies themselves put criteria on their behalf. Most of them require the minimum 60% score in final year exams. Some companies that visited our college are Fingertips, Lenden, and Wipro. The average highest package for the placement drives is 5 LPA. At most, 50 to 60 percent students are placed in the final placement drives. My plan after getting the degree is to become a VFX and a graphic designer.

Yes, we have residential facilities. It is available for the students who need it. I don't know the fees of hostel but yes, they provide excellent facilities to the students. Transportation facilities are also available for the students who live far from the college and could not arrange their own transportation. The area around the college is well developed so it has everything you need nearby like confectionery, barber, and even other hostels and PGs are also nearby.

There are two college blocks; the first one is for fashion, BBA, and BCA combined and the other block is for only IT students. The IT block has its own laboratory and computer labs. It also has games and sports room. In the first block, there is a library in the basement and an auditorium also. There is a Mac lab for students and 2 normal computer labs.

There is an annual event called Manthan which happens every year for 3 days. Many activities are organised there like dance, ramp walk, singing, etc. where you can also showcase your own individual talents or skills. The library is not so big but has every book you need for your related course and subject. You can take 2 books at a time without any charges for 14 days. There are also many social clubs which are maintained by students. The canteen food is good and they maintain good hygiene. There is hostel facility available in the college but in nearby areas, there are many PGs and hostels available at very reasonable fees.
